“I was gripped by Simon Singh’s “Fermat’s Last Theorem”...Singh’s book puts across the romance of the discipline and the engaging wit and comradeship of the mathematical community.’ Independent
‘Unexpectedly gripping...The averagely numerate can catch a glimpse of the pure beauty of numbers without having to understand the calculations involved.’ Sunday Telegraph
‘Far from being a dry textbook it reads like the chronicle of an obsessive love affair. It has the classic ingredients that Hollywood would recognise.’ Daily Mail

Reseña del editor
The extraordinary story of the solving of a puzzle that has confounded mathematicians since the 17th century. The solution of Fermat’s Last Theorem is the most important mathematical development of the 20th century.
In 1963 a schoolboy browsing in his local library stumbled across the world’s greatest mathematical problem: Fermat’s Last Theorem, a puzzle that every child can understand but which has baffled mathematicians for over 300 years. Aged just ten, Andrew Wiles dreamed that he would crack it.
Wiles’s lifelong obsession with a seemingly simple challenge set by a long-dead Frenchman is an emotional tale of sacrifice and extraordinary determination. In the end, he was forced to work in secrecy and isolation for seven years, harnessing all the power of modern mathematics to achieve his childhood dream. Many before him had tried and failed, including a 18-century philanderer who was killed in a duel, and an 18-century Frenchwoman who had to attend maths lectures at the Ecole Polytechnique disguised as a man.
A remarkable story of human endeavour and intellectual brilliance over three centuries, ‘Fermat‘s Last Theorem’ will fascinate both specialist and general readers.

Fermat's Last Theorem
Anbieter: Hamelyn, Madrid, Spanien
Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Zustand: Como nuevo. : En 1993, Andrew Wiles de la Universidad de Princeton anunció una solución al último teorema de Fermat, electrificando el mundo de las matemáticas. Tras descubrirse un fallo en la prueba, Wiles tuvo que trabajar otro año para establecer que había resuelto el problema de 350 años de antigüedad. El libro de Simon Singh es una explicación animada y comprensible del trabajo de Wiles y de la historia del último teorema de Fermat, plagada de estrellas, traumas y chiflados. El enigma de Fermat contiene algunos problemas que ofrecen una muestra de las matemáticas, pero también incluye limericks para dar una idea del lado chiflado de los matemáticos.
